MEDIA MONDAY: HALLOWEEN SPECIAL AND AN ALMA BOOK GIVEAWAY.

 In conjunction with the lovely people at ALMA BOOKS I'm delighted to be able to offer one British reader (apologies to those overseas) a copy of Isabel's Skin (see my review HERE). 

A 'spine-tingling read with a macabre twist' its perfect reading for those cold winter nights curled up in front of the fire and in order to win a copy you don't have to follow Pen and Paper (though that would be nice) you simply have to answer the following question and leave an email address where I can contact you if your name should be pulled out of the (witch's) hat on November the 5th.

Of all the literary characters out there which one would you must like to bewitch?
